Restored Salter household scales

I found these old kitchen scales in my father's shed, they were pretty rough & didn't work.  I pulled them apart & clean & lubricated the spring & mechanism & managed to get them to work.  After a good clean & a coat of paint they looked pretty good then i managed to print a new face.  They now work perfectly & are a nice display piece on the kitchen bench.

Nice one @DarrenPage1. It's so good when we can give an item a second life rather than it ending up in landfill. Well done.

Morning @DarrenPage1 

 

Looks fantastic - maybe more accurate than digital scales? 😁

There is something comforting is seeing the dial move - unless they're bathroom scales.
